Who decides who is ‘too loud, swears too much and goes too far’? It is usually the ‘community’. While that word and concept can provide a sense of solidarity and strength in the face of racism, Islamophobia and other bigotries, it is imperative to ask who speaks for the ‘community’ and whose interests that community serves.
Another paragraph which I loved. Who is the ‘community’? Who’s voice gets heard, who gets to speak over minorities? We need to be challenging this so called ‘community’, those with privilege should be using their voices to AMPLIFY the voices of minorities, help muslim women (and others) be heard!
